Rubio Joins Colleagues in Support of Hong Kong Protestors
Washington, D.C. — Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today joined Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Deb Fischer (R-NE), and Jim Inhofe (R-OK) in releasing a joint statement of support for over one million citizens protesting the Chinese Communist Party interference in Hong Kong:
“The extradition law proposed by Beijing loyalists in Hong Kong would allow political dissidents, minorities, and foreign travelers in Hong Kong to be spirited away to China’s secret police on the mainland. The people of Hong Kong are assembling in the streets to resist this threat to their freedom and send a message to the Chinese Communist Party.
“Hong Kong demonstrators know what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989, unlike so many Chinese on the mainland. They know the risk they run by defying the Chinese Communist Party. The demonstrators’ courage in the face of threats, police batons, and tear gas is an example for the world to follow. We support these demonstrators as they fight for freedom and call on Hong Kong and Chinese authorities to respect their right to peacefully protest.”
Senator Rubio, co-chairman of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, is also a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the State Department, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs.
